PAUSE.
LET’S TALK ABOUT MEN IN AMERICA


(INTERLUDE, INTRO)



(SUNG)

THE STREETS ARE WATCHING RICH FOLKS ARE PLOTTING

THEY WANT A SMART BROTHER IN A GRAVE

IF JESUS SAVES AND WE ROSE FROM SLAVES
WHY YA’LL WON’T, HELP A BROTHA OUT


YEAH,
YEAH,
OOOH-WHOA
,OOO-OH,
,OOOO,WHOA, OOOH-WHOA
,OOO- OH-OOO-WOO


I AIN’T BUILT FOR JAIL

AS THESE SCHOOL SYSTEMS FAIL,
IS IT ONLY JAIL, OR THE BLOCK

“CHECK ON YOUR PEOPLE”


I NEVER USED TO BE IN TROUBLE
NEVER SET OUT TO BE A REBEL
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT
ALL THIS EVIL
AND UPLIFT MY PEOPLE



(RAP/POETRY)

A PRINCE OF ETHIOPIA FOR A QUEEN N’ZINGA

IT ALWAYS MY BROTHER NEVER A HATER

CASH AIN’T A FLEX

WEALTH AIN’T A WOMANS FIGURE

WE LIVE KNOWLEDGE MIXED WITH PLEASURE

EMPHASIS ON ART, MATH, SCIENCE, AND CULTURE

THE WISDOM OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS TREASURE

WE TRAIN ANIMALS, EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN

DRUGS DON’T EXSIST CAUSE NATURE IS HEALING

IN TUNE WITH OUR SPACE RESPECT A VIBES MEANING

STRESS DON’T EXSIST AND OUR BABIES ARE BORN BREATHING

NO INCARCERATION A FUTURE WITH NO CEILING

I OWE MYSELF THE BEST, ANYTHING LESS IS TREASON



(SUNG)

I AIN’T A REBEL I’M A MAN
NO MASTERPLAN

,JUST SURVIVING DAY TO DAY

I’M NOT A HERO


I’M NOT A HERO



I AIN’T A REBEL I’M A MAN
NO MASTERPLAN

,JUST SURVIVING DAY TO DAY

I’M NOT A HERO


I’M NOT A HERO




(NARRATOR)
